Attended a memorial/prayer service for my cousin, Larry Wednesday 5-7 & service @ 7:00pm.
NO COFFEE: had family that came from Perham, MN., Grand Forks, etc...wanted something to drink, was going to walk over to VFW, but didn't have time. West may want to consider adding a coffee/water bar like @ Boulgers, Hanson Runsvold, Wright & Korsmo. Thanks for considering it !!!

I'm not one to typically leave reviews, but I cannot say enough good things about West Funeral Home and more specifically, Dave. From his care and compassion with my family upon our initial meeting at the nursing home, to answering all of our questions quickly and thoughtfully, and ensuring every detail of my dad's service was exactly as we wanted it. He went above and beyond and made what was a very difficult week, bearable. They truly care about the people they serve and it shows. I cannot say thank you enough.
